Design Specifications
The IV DRIP is a completely mechanical device for monitoring flow by regulating volume discharge. The flow is controlled using a system of counterweights which is based upon the design of a mousetrap. This system creates a kink in the IV tubing in order to stop fluid flow. It also ensures that the IV bag remains sterile.
Technical Support
None available. This product is a prototype.
Replacement Components
None
Lifecycle
Approximately 10 years if used twice weekly
Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters
Vetted Performance Status
The device is in the testing stage at hospitals in Malawi. Clinicians reviewed the product as "easy to use". The designers also did durability testing on the device, simulating 1000 uses, and found that the device stood up to the test.
Safety
The devices is 97.5% accurate, in sever cases this may not be accurate enough.
